When you want to keep marriage from falling apart, there are certain things that you should do. You have to accept the fact that no marriage can work from doing nothing. Marriage requires constant updating and upgrading. What does this mean? It means that you have to communicate on what’s new with you and work on the application of what you have talked about.
